A panel of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers has released guidance to its members on how to include disciplinary notations on transcripts of students who are seeking to transfer to other institutions. In a number of cases, advocates for students who have been assaulted have asked why their assailants were permitted to transfer -- despite a record. At the same time, some college officials have expressed concerns about federal privacy protection laws and their impact. The guidance suggests that there are ways to note "serious behavioral misconduct" on transcripts or in letters or other accompanying documents.

ACT has confirmed reports that the answer sheets of about 125 students who took the ACT in Los Angeles on April 8 are missing. ACT is continuing efforts to locate the answer sheets and is also offering to help the students whose answers are missing to take the ACT on Saturday. "ACT sincerely regrets any inconvenience that impacted students and their families may experience as a result of this unfortunate situation. However, we are still very hopeful that the package will be found, and that the students’ April ACT tests can be scored and reported. We are doing everything within our power to locate the missing package," ACT said in a statement.
